"Alcohol passes to the baby in small amounts in breast milk. The milk will smell different to the baby and may affect their feeding, sleeping or digestion. The best advice is to avoid drinking shortly before a baby's feed."[29] "Alcohol clears from a mother's milk at the rate of around one unit [8g] every two hours. So try to avoid alcohol before breastfeeding, or plan ahead and express milk if you know you'll be drinking."[30] "There is little research evidence available about the effect that [alcohol in breast milk] has on the baby, although practitioners report that, even at relatively low levels of drinking, it may reduce the amount of milk available and cause irritability, poor feeding and sleep disturbance in the infant. Given these concerns, a prudent approach is advised."[1] * Australia: "Women who are breastfeeding are advised not to exceed the levels of drinking recommended during pregnancy, and may consider not drinking at all."[1] * Iceland: Advise that women abstain from alcohol during breast feeding because no safe consumption level exists. * New Zealand: "The guidelines recommend women do not drink alcohol, smoke, or use non-prescription drugs unless prescribed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as these can all affect the growth and development of the baby."[25] * United Kingdom: "The occasional drink - one to two units [8-16g] no more than once or twice a week - probably won't do any harm. Any more than this isn't good, as it can make the baby so sleepy that it won't take enough milk."[30] Probably not. http://www.cfpc.ca/cfp/2002/Jan/vol48-jan-clinical-1.asp Should answer your questions.

How long should you wait to breastfeed after doing meth?

How dare you! You should not be a parent your child should be taken away from you! You are a piece of crap and scum of the earth and I hope you die and your child never has to be raised by such a disgrace! Answer While pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not use drugs at all since it passes to the baby. Since it appears you have, though, confess to the doctor and do what you must to clear the baby's system. It isn't about you (besides your living long enough to raise this child)...it is about the healthy development of your child--emotional and behavioral. Switch to formula at least if you are going to continue with meth.
